Tsunami Labs
Date Submitted: 2005-09-01
In this lab you'll study seismograms from 3 different seismic stations recording the magnitude 9.0 Sumatra
earthquake of 12/26/2004. By comparing the arrival times of waves on each seismogram, you'll be able to determine distance to the epicenter.

World Map (Mercator)

Here are a few nice USGS maps that might be useful. I copied the maps onto transparencies and created a lab where students ultimately overlaid the transparencies to compare and contrast the locations of earthquakes, volcanoes, and plate boundaries.

Help students determining the "order of events" in Earth's history. Link to a powerpoint presentation included.

Radioactive Decay

Radioisotope decay can be a hard concept to grasp due to its abstract nature. Therefore I suggest we use analogies to teach these topics turning them into "hands on" activities.
